The police response began after a gunman entered Robb Elementary School with a semiautomatic rifle, pushing into two adjoining classrooms and starting a rampage. It did not end for some 77 minutes, when later-arriving federal officers finally breached the classroom door and killed the shooter. In the end, 19 students and 2 teachers died.
That police response has since drawn wide condemnation. A preliminary report from the state’s House of Representatives, released this week, skewered every level of the law enforcement response to the May 24 shooting, starting with the school district’s police chief, Pete Arredondo. It concluded that some victims might have survived if they had been rescued earlier.
